Currently listening to: The White Queen by Philippa Gregory and enjoying it.
Finished listening to: Are You There Vodka it's Me Chelsea by Chelsea Handler. Hilarious to listen to! Highly entertaining.

My review of The Wednesday Sisters:
The more I read this book the more I fell in love with it. The funny thing is the book references "The Great Gatsby" a handful of times and how ironic that that's the book I read right before I read this book. (Not that you need to read The GG before you read this.)

This was a heartwarming story, I loved the women's friendships. I loved that it mentioned important historical news happening during that time. I loved that it took place in the Bay area, that the author is from Palo Alto. I also love that the park mentioned in the book is the park I drive by weekly when I go to spin class. It's nice to hear descriptions of this area back in the day.

Overall, I think it was a great book. I'm envious of how close of friends the women are in the book, they were very fortunate to meet and get so close to each other as well as see each other on a weekly basis.
